A Sioux Center man was arrested following a traffic stop early Saturday morning.  The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office arrested 45-year-old Brandon De Goei of Sioux Center after he was pulled over, and investigators suspected illegal drugs were in the vehicle.  Officers requested a K-9 unit which alerted authorities to the odor of narcotics.  Investigators found a controlled substance in De Goei’s possession.

De Goei was evaluated by a drug recognition expert who determined that he was under the influence of a controlled substance, and was taken to the Sioux County Jail where he was charged with second offense operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated and possession of controlled substance.
